BANGALORE: BenQ has launched a new 17 inch LCD monitor - FP72V - in the Indian market. The LCD monitor is specifically designed for family use, encompassing activities such as music, videos, learning, instant messaging and communicating with friends.

The FP72V offers several features that address the needs of the family, including automatic brightness adjustment, detachable web camera for flexible placement, flexible height settings, and wide viewing angles for sharing content.

The FP72V offers a "family friendly" feature set that was designed with four concepts in mind: comfort, share, hands-on fun and novelty.

The "Health Watch" concept refers to both a light sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness of the monitor based on the lighting in the room and a timer that automatically lowers the brightness and contrast after a prescribed period of time. There is also a durable built-in protective film that shields the LCD monitor screen from abrasion and scratches. The protective film also helps improve the image quality of the picture on the monitor.

The "share" concept, a wide viewing angle and height adjustment helps the family members to turn the screen according to their comfort. "Hands-on fun," items such as the detachable web camera enable the user to fit the monitor and its components into their living space according to their comfort needs. An adjustable height setting permits family members of all ages and sizes to access and view the monitor comfortably.

The "novelty" concept pertains to the "robotic" shape of the LCD casing and silver metallic color that should appeal aesthetically to children.

BenQ marcom head Ish Bawa said, "BenQ is an undisputed leader when it comes to LCD monitors. It's been a constant endeavor from our end to meet the needs of the different set of audiences be it the gaming community, software community or the educational one. With the family based monitor we are all set to establish our superiority for the movie and multimedia users too."

The FP72V received the 2005 IF Design China Award and 2005 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award for outstanding industrial design, proving that it is not only kind to the eyes, but also good to look at.
